There may have been a few chances where she could have stepped in, however at the same time Yusuke didn't really leave much room for another to join the battle. It wasn't until another hollow appeared [i]outta-nowhere[/i] to shield the hollow Yusuke had been fighting did Itsuko begin to really get worried. [i][color=9e0b0f]'That idiot! Now look at what he's done, we came to report the hollow not draw multiple to our location!'[/color][/i] The time to standby was certainly over, Itsuko prepared to launch herself off of the current rooftop she was observing from when she promptly stopped herself at the sight of the glow of a cero. Said cero blasted Yusuke point blank, appearing almost like it was revenge for the earlier kido Yusuke had fired but Itsuko knew better; hollows are just mindless beasts, there is no meaning to their madness. Taking off towards Yusuke, she stood at an acceptable distance from the mint-haired man, watching as his headphones crumbled to his feet. Itsuko stifled a chuckle, but soon her neutral expression transformed to a scowl. [color=9e0b0f][b]"[sub]Now that you don't have your headphones you think you can order me around after ignoring me for this whole mission.[/sub]"[/b][/color] She mumbled under her breath, now wasn't the time to start arguments, but later Itsuko will be having words. Whipping out her spirit phone, Itsuko called for backup as asked before putting it away, Yusuke was unfortunately right even though he was the one who caused this mission to get out of hand in the first place. Swiftly Itsuko unsheathed her zanpakuto and immediately got to work. Springing off of her right foot towards her first target, she slashed in a motion from her bottom left towards her upper right to begin her attack, landing it cleanly. This hollow was one of the weak ones so she didn't have any difficulty taking it down... It was the volume of these weak hollow that would cause issues, also not to forget to mention the strange hollow that was clearly much stronger than the hollow they would have faced during the academy days. Itsuko kept quiet as she got to work, oddly she preferred not to talk while fighting in order to fully be able to concentrate, this lead her to of course ignore Yusuke so she could focus on her next targets.
